Sokin Dubai Careers: Fintech to Grow UAE Team to 100

Sokin Dubai careers are expanding: the global payments fintech plans to grow its UAE team from about 65 people to 100 after winning a Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) licence. Three Dubai roles were live on the company's careers site on 15 November 2026, and you apply there directly.

Gulf News reported the expansion on 14 November 2026 after interviewing founder and chief executive Vroon Modgill. We then read Sokin's careers site to see what is open right now.

What has Sokin announced?

According to Gulf News, Sokin has:

• secured a DFSA licence through its Dubai International Financial Centre office
• opened a new UAE office at One Za'abeel
• launched dirham accounts for business clients with Ruya Community Islamic Bank
• set a target of 100 staff in the UAE, up from roughly 65 today

Mr Modgill told the paper the Dubai office is "not a satellite office". The company was founded in 2019, runs eight offices, holds licences in 36 countries and has raised more than $100 million from investors.

Which Dubai roles are open?

The CEO said hiring will include the partnerships team. That group deals with other fintech companies and software providers that build Sokin's multi-currency accounts into their own products.

On the careers site, the Dubai filter showed three vacancies when we looked on 15 November 2026, out of 58 worldwide:

All three are marked hybrid. No salaries are printed on the listings we opened, so we are not quoting pay. Partnerships roles were not on the Dubai list that day; they may be posted later as the team grows.

How to apply — step by step

1. Open the official jobs page: careers.sokin.com/jobs.
2. Filter by location: Dubai (or by country: United Arab Emirates) to see only UAE roles.
3. Read the full listing. Each one sets out the duties and the experience expected.
4. Apply on the listing page with your CV. Tailor it before you upload.
5. No suitable role yet? The site has a "Connect" option that lets you create a profile and hear about current or future vacancies.
6. After applying, watch your email. Sokin does not publish a timeline, so allow a few weeks before following up.

One honest note: the product manager listing states that candidates need the right to work in the jurisdiction where the job is based. If you are outside the UAE, ask the recruiter early whether visa sponsorship is possible for that role instead of assuming it.

Sokin recruits through its own careers site. You do not need an agent, and no genuine employer in the UAE charges candidates for an interview or an offer letter. Ignore anyone who asks for money to "process" a Sokin application.

Tips that raise your chances

• Show payments or regulated-industry experience in the top third of your CV. Cross-border payments, FX, banking, compliance or B2B software all fit.
• Use numbers. Volumes processed, clients onboarded, revenue from partnerships, releases shipped.
• For partnerships and sales profiles, list the platforms, fintechs or banks you have worked with and what the deals delivered.
• Mention AI tools you use at work. The product listing says candidates should be comfortable using AI while staying accountable for the result.
• Common mistakes: a generic CV sent to several roles at once, no mention of fintech, and unclear right-to-work status.

Checklist: tailored CV in PDF, LinkedIn profile updated, two or three measurable achievements, visa or residency status stated clearly, notice period.

What it means for job seekers

• Around 35 more UAE hires are implied by the target, so expect new Dubai listings over the coming months, not all at once.
• The open roles today are senior. Juniors should register through Connect and check the page weekly.
• A DFSA licence and a dirham account launch usually mean more compliance, operations and client-facing work locally.
